When is the deadline for defamation limitation period?
The catalogue records a 1 year period from the date of the publication of the matter complained of. This draft page remains free only until its source, worked example and limits are reviewed.
Source link required
This page is in preparation. It does not offer an automated deadline or a paid record until the missing source or calculator evidence is complete.
In preparation
The existing catalogue does not yet have a registered adapter or source evidence for this exact question. It remains available as a public preparation page only.
Example pending review
A separately reviewed fixture is required before this question can become indexable. The page does not present an unreviewed output as an example.
Calculation basis and source
- Period
- 1 year
- Trigger
- the date of the publication of the matter complained of
- Counting
- The encoded calculator method must be independently documented before publication.
- Rollovers and holidays
- Holiday, closure and order treatment must be independently documented before publication.
This route remains in preparation until a pinpoint official source is recorded.
- Limitation Act 1985 (ACT) s 21BB (2): the court may extend the limitation period to a period of up to 3 years running from the date of the alleged publication if the plaintiff satisfies the court that it is just and reasonable to allow the action to proceed.
